El Buen Gusto Harborne

Head down to Harborne High Street and you'll find El Buen Gusto tucked in among the independent shops and cafés that make this neighbourhood feel genuinely lived-in. It's the kind of place where the staff know what they're doing—they're not just reading from a menu, they're steering you towards what's worth eating. You'll get honest Spanish food here: cured jamón, patatas bravas that taste like someone's abuela made them, proper seafood when it's in season. The wine list skews Spanish too, which means you can actually afford a decent glass without feeling like you're being done over. It's warm and unpretentious, busy enough on weekends that you feel the energy, but never trying too hard.
